Ok Bob, but with 10 batteries will the onboard 120V generator be able to fully charge them ?? If they only get charged to 12V each is that good enough??

OK Bob, regenerative braking would be very good here in this hilly country.
If I buy a 120V motor made for EVs and a proper controller will the controller provide regenerative braking??
Im in BC can you give me web links to where I could by the motor and controller??

thanks Eh?
